=**Welcome to fall semester 2013!**=

Dr Susan Cramer here..... media type="custom" key="24904018" Your class is scheduled to meet on either Tue or Thur from 3-4:30. Tue = Social Studies Learning Community Thur = Elementary Language Arts Learning Community You are welcome to use the lab on the day your class is not in session.

This course is designed as a project based, flipped, hybrid course. What that means is that we will be together face-to-face for half the regular meeting time (hybrid) allowing the remaining time to be used in a more self directed and self paced way (flipped) to complete course projects (project based learning). This is a way I see pk-12 education leaning and am excited to try it this semester.

Project based, flipped, hybrid learning requires good time management skills. University time expectations still hold -- for each credit hour per week expect to spend two hours outside of class plus one hour in class for a total of 3 hours per credit per week. (If you are uncomfortable with technology it will take longer until you build your fluency.) Since our class is a 3 credit course, you should allocate 9 hours per week to it. One and a half hours will be spent in class, the remaining 7.5 hours will be outside of class. I am setting due dates to help you keep yourself on track. Please feel free to work ahead. However, I understand some procrastinators just can't get going without a deadline staring them in the face.

Because this is a project based course, you will have a wide latitude in the hardware and software you use. In all instances the apps suggested are only suggestions. You are always welcome to find an alternative that works better for you. In fact, iPads and Mobile Devices and Interactive Whiteboards are two of the hottest tool categories in today's classrooms. You are most likely carrying a mobile devise in your pocket (your smart phone). You may also have an iPad or tablet or a Google Chromebook or other devise with you or you may have one or more at home or in a classroom where you work. This is great! I am going to encourage you to use them this semester. The same goes for Interactive Whiteboards (SmartBoards). Unfortunately our classroom has none of this equipment :( So, you are going to have to push yourself to gain familiarity with them. To practice using a SmartBoard, go to Polk Library and reserve/use the SmartBoard room on the 3rd floor. It's there just for you!!! Check out the key at the circulation desk. To access an iPad talk to me, we have some in the college. I can check them out for a class period. Or, better yet, gain access to one that you can use over several days. You won't want to go to student teaching or a job interview without familiarity with these tools. It's up to you here... create instructional plans that incorporate their use.

Now it's time to start building a shared mental model of what technology rich learning might look like. Please view, read and think about the following videos, graphics and articles. Come to class ready to think and talk about them. Weave their ideas into the materials you develop for class. We are preparing for classrooms of today and tomorrow, not yesterday. You will be part of creating that future and it starts now.
